CCC Officials Level 3 Certification Course and TD Update

The Alberta World Cup Academy, in conjunction with Cross Country Canada, is pleased to offer a Level 3 Officials course in Canmore, Alberta. The course will be held at the Bill Warren Training Centre over two weekends - Friday Oct. 24 - Sunday Oct. 26 and Friday Nov. 14 - Sunday Nov. 16. A team of outstanding presenters is being lined up to share their expertise and experience with you. Details on the presenters and course outline will be available in mid-September.

A National Technical Delegate Update Seminar will also be held in parallel on Friday Nov. 14 - Sunday Nov. 16 at the Bill Warren Centre. Details about this seminar will be posted soon on Cross Country Canada’s website, which will overlap with the Level 3 course.

The Level 3 course is intended to prepare experienced officials to assume the responsibilities of a Technical Delegate. In order to register for the Level 3 Officials Course you must have Level 2 certification (including experience in a "major" role) plus approval from your Division.

There will be pre-course assignments for each participant which will be assigned at the beginning of October. There will also be post-course assignments given to each participant that will be fulfilled during 2008-2009 competitions, which are necessary in order to achieve Level 3 certification.

This course is subsidized by the Alberta Cross Country World Cup Society. The fee for the course will be $100.00, and it will be necessary to attend both weekends. The course will commence at 6:00 pm Friday evenings and conclude by 4:00 pm Sundays. Course fee includes nutrition breaks, lunchs and dinner on Saturday.

If you are interested in taking this course, please contact Ken Hewitt prior to September 30th. Ken can be reached at: khewitt@albertaworldcup.com; 403-609-4141. Formal registration and payment will commence on October 1st, 2008.
